There is a particular kind of loneliness that can come with growing up — the feeling that your body is changing faster than anyone is talking about, that your emotions are too big or too confusing to name, that you are becoming someone new but no one has marked it yet.

In many cultures, this passage was held and witnessed. In our current world, those threshold moments often go unmarked. This circle is for that.

Over six weeks we gather outside. We go on nature walks and sit in fireside circles. Sessions begin with simple moments of grounding, breath, and presence. From there we follow the thread of what's alive, through honest conversation and the kind of reflection that goes somewhere.

We move through themes that are alive right now, in your life, in your body:

• Voice — finding it, exploring it, asserting it

• Boundaries — as relational, a way to love yourself and others

• Cycles — your body's rhythms as information

• Self-trust — the kind that’s built over time through small, regular acts

• Belonging - a way of being in right relationship with yourself and others

• Becoming — marking your own threshold

Everyone's experience belongs here. We welcome the laughter and the hard stuff equally.

We close with a ceremony around a fire that marks this transition into a new school year, and honors yourself, your growth and your journey of becoming more you.

The full cost of this circle is $350. We offer sliding scale from $200 — pay what is true for your family's life right now. Scholarship spots are available. Reach out before cost stops you.
